My son and I are flying to MEL today and lodged upgrade request which came through to PE. We had originally selected preferred seats in a sky couch row but now have been allocated middle seats (E/F) in centre row in PE.

First world problem I know but are we better off?, (seat wise I mean, I appreciate the service and food/beverage will be better), having only ever sat in PE previously window side with window and aisle seats and have often looked at those in the middle seats and thought to myself “hmmm, not sure about that” (TT it may be ok, but I don’t think I would be happy there for long haul).

I asked at check in as can see blocked seats on seat map and attendant was very helpful and called to enquire for us, but was told they are ‘allocated’. Not sure as we are originating from a regional centre so will maybe check again when we hit the lounge in AKL.

Any thoughts from from flyers who have experience in these seats?
